Money 01

Former state university employee Yoon Hahn, who retired in August 2017, saved $263,071 toward a pension over 18 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hahn would collect as much as $6.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Hahn received $131,210 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hahn will have already received $266,356 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
